[Gllug] RE: [GLUG] Year, month,day?

[Matthew Leach]

Erm ... Im not exactly sure what you're asking, but I *think*
you want to get the date in that form?

You can use 'date'

	date +%Y%m%d

This will give you
20021112

­¤ Hi All
­¤ 
­¤ I have some apps that create log files in the form of 
­¤ logfile.log.20021112,
­¤ now I want to gzip these on a nightly basis, the part that 
­¤ I'm battling with
­¤ is how would I say 
­¤ 
­¤ gzip logfile.log.yyyymmdd, as there will be existing logs in 
­¤ the dir called
­¤ logfile.log, which will be live, and I don't wan't to zip that?
­¤ 
­¤ Thanks
­¤
